Yeah, kmod/udev/systemd get this right these days: the kernel modules
just export in modalias what node they want to have created, kmod then
extracts that and udev/systemd create the device node for it. Then, when
userspace opens the deivce the kernel will make sure the module is
actually auto-loaded.
